Mark's MailboxWarming and Grooming
I'm starting the week guest-hosting for Rush, live from 12 noon to 3pm Eastern, which I regard as a welcome short tea break from Mann vs Steyn trial preparation. I was hoping this would be an American jurisprudential landmark - the first legal defense entirely funded by sales of the accused's Christmas disco CD - but it looks like we may have to rely on other products, too. Don't forget, personally autographed books are only available direct from SteynOnline. I'm not sure if this counts as what ... SteynPostsA Se'nnight of Steyn: March 3-9
In case you missed it, here's the last seven days as seen by Mark Mark at the MoviesVertigo
The nearest thing to a Golden Age star at this year's Oscars was Kim Novak, and her appearance set Twitter a-flutter, and not in a good way. I prefer to remember her the way she was when I, very briefly, met her, at the time of her last movie, Mike Figgis' Liebestraume (1991). She was a beautiful middle-aged woman then, but she didn't enjoy the experience, and so it proved to be her final film. More of a distant vision of a star than the real thing, Miss Novak gave two good performances in two very different Sinatra films (The Man With The Golden Arm and Pal Joey), and one other role ensured that she will last as long as movies do...

Defend Free Speech!An Inspiring Day
I watched Ezra Levant's defamation trial in Toronto with an eye to my own defamation trial in Washington. Khurrum Awan, the Sole Surviving Sock from the original five Canadian Islamic Congress Sock Puppets who attempted to get my writing banned for life in Canada, is now suing Ezra for calling him a liar and an anti-Semite. Michael E Mann, the fake Nobel Laureate, is suing me, Rand Simberg and our respective publishers for calling his hockey stick "fraudulent" (that was me) and its creator a ... Defend Free Speech!A Guacalypse Now!
I was distracted from my upcoming trial of the century by my comrade Ezra Levant's trial of the century in Ontario Superior Court last week. However, in my few moments outside court, I did have a chance to catch up with both legal and scientific friends in Toronto to help prepare for serving discovery requests on Michael E Mann, deposition of Dr Mann, my counterclaim against Mann, and various other matters. I also found Ezra's performance in court yesterday hugely inspiring. (You can read more ... Happy WarriorWhere The Action Is
People keep asking me whom I favor for the 2016 Republican nomination. I politely demur — and not just because it's almost three years till Election Day, and at this stage in the 2008 cycle I'm not sure I'd ever heard of Barack Obama...

Being confined for a week to a Canadian courtroom, I have been taking a keen interest in the many laws it's possible to run afoul of up here. For example:
